Pretty Hair and Makeup Looks For Holiday 2010

5 Festive Hair and Makeup Looks to Try Right Now

Party season is upon us and that means it's time to bring out the glamour and sparkle. That's why I've gathered together some of my favorite celebrity hair and makeup looks from recent weeks worthy of any festive soirée. From bedazzled lashes to shiny, sexy hair, here are five great options to try right now.

For a quick and easy interpretation of Taylor Swift's casually cool updo, start by curling your hair with a large-barrel curling iron. Next, loosely braid your hair to the side. After securing with an elastic, break up the braid with your fingers and softly twist the braid against your head to create a rolled effect. Pin to secure and touch up any front pieces with a curling iron to finish.

A cool smoky, silvery eye is always a good bet for any wintertime event. Makeup artist K.C. Fee created scream queen's Tanedra Howard's gorgeous eye makeup palette, and here's how you can get the look:

Apply Make Up For Ever's Aqua Cream ($22) in Anthracite, a silvery charcoal shimmer, to the lids and highlight with Snow, a white pearl shimmer.

When in doubt, bedazzle. To get Natasha Bedingfield's shimmering eye makeup look, makeup artist Gregory Arlt used a variety of shadows from MAC ($14.50 each): Dazzlelight for under the brow; Copperplate for the crease; Satin Taupe for the lids; Smut for the outer corners and lower liner; and Typographic for the upper liner. As for those impressively decked-out falsies, Gregory made them himself using Swarovski crystals. But to get your own, try eBay for a variety of similar options.
